Note: The geological groups are expressed as a cumulative figure within the watershed. The geology value given for a specific location includes the entire watershed upstream from that point. For example, the value for location 9 (Dundee) for lacustrine clay & silt means that 17.1% of the geology in the River Raisin watershed upstream from Dundee is lacustrine clay & silt geology.
